My job was to replace the side view mirror, so I had to remove the door panel.

The first thing I did was put the window in the down position.

Using a tack puller, I pried at the top of the cover and unhooked it from the bottom.

But the wiring is connected under the plastic door panel and the wire should be disconnected first.

Note the spring clip at the front of the switch module (inside green circle).

When this module is pushed forward, the spring is compressed and then the back becomes unhooked and can be lifted up.

I removed the screw cover with a small pry tool.

Removing The Side View Mirror:

After disconnecting the wiring connector (green circle), I used a 10mm socket to remove the three nuts used to mount the side view mirror to the metal shell.

Have someone hold the mirror so it won't fall and cause damage.
